EMC has developed Fast Ethernet, a patent pending technology that enables a a next generation Internet that is better, more secure and faster. This new EMC exclusive technology delivers speeds up to 100 Mbps directly to the customer wherever they are located. Fast Ethernet allows and guarantees downloads 10 times faster than a 2Mbps dedicated terrestrial link. This service is ideal for software distribution, traffic balancing, video broadcast, back-up or business continuity, internet access and broadcasting applications.
Internet traffic consumes around more than 90 percent of the existing communication channels around the world and broadband is limited in geographical coverage and performance and is not consistent in quality even in some of the most developed countries like USA and Japan.
In emerging markets the situation is even worse where local Internet exchanges are not available and web pages or corporate data centers are hosted in different and remote continents making the WAN a limiting factor for the Internet performance. Every second the same content from the Internet is sent thousands or some time millions of times each time utilizing a communication channel and filling them of unnecessary redundant data in an inefficient way using inefficient legacy protocols and inefficient web page structures coming from decades ago, from the beginnings of the Internet.
The insecurity and management resources of Internet based links add another layer of complexity to the current use of the Internet in particular for multinationals operating in hundreds of countries making Internet based connections difficult to maintain and operate requiring hundreds or thousands of firewall systems that make the connections even more inefficient.
Multimedia, HD video, IPTV, the new adoption of 3D, the increasing usage of the Internet to access files, emails attachments and videos hosted on the cloud and the convergence of Voice, Video and Data services via the Internet does not stop and continue to drive more and more Internet traffic that requires a better Internet that can be accessed in an efficient, seamless, more predictable and secure way anywhere in the planet.
